We did the Road to Hana that day and loved it. We downloaded an app called Gypsy Guide to Road to Hana and it was awesome. It has a built in GPS that gives you history or information about an area as you approach it. The drive to and from the Road to Hana along the ocean was beautiful. We loved the Garden of Eden, well worth the stop and small admissions fee.
Loved this stop. We went on a submarine ride here and loved it. It was so awesome to see the coral reef, lots of species of fish and even some ship wrecks. We also saw the black sand beach (a little disappointing because there really wasn't a great place to lay out and it was super crowded).
Plan to rent a car and drive over to North Shore. Worth the trip. Dole Pineapple Plantation is on that side of the island and that was great. Honolulu has a lot of traffic and is not as pretty as North Shore.
Not my favorite stop but the town was fun and the Botanical Garden was great. We saw Sea Turtles on this stop.

Stay in a balcony room but avoid the obstructed view. Plan to eat in the Liberty Restaurant for the best food and service so ladies bring enough dresses, gentlemen need collared shirts.

I can't think of a better way to see Hawaii. It was our first trip to Hawaii and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. I must say the waters were pretty rough at times, more rough than our Caribbean cruises but for me, I push through and try to savor every minutes. The shows were outstanding! We loved the piano bar and ended most of our evenings there. The food was okay, not the best I've had on a cruise. The place where the service was the best was at the Liberty Restaurant (upstairs from the Skyline as I remember). The service at Skyline was slow and the wait staff was not very friendly. Liberty was just the opposite. There was not much variety at the Aloha Cafe. Our steward was very sweet and always attentive. Overall, our cruise experience was very good.
